Why did you use Yeshua instead of Jesus (the English translation of the Koine Iesous.

Yeshua is the Jewish Messiah. The name Jesus, and title, Christ comes not from Hebrew but from Latin, a.k.a. Julius Caesar, notice the similarities… As for the rest… climb the mountain of YHVH as in Isaiah 2.

No, actually I don't.

Jesus Christ is a transliteration of the Greek ihsouV cristoV. The Latin is similar to the Greek except in Latin letters. Greek was the language sovereignly chosen of God by to give His Church the NT.

"Jesus Christ" has nothing to do with the Latin name Julius Caesar. "Christ" means "anointed one" or "messiah" in Greek. "Caesar" was the family name of Julius and Co and has nothing to do with Jesus.
